- Lt. Paul Stewart: Well, if you give Janet this insulin, how certain can you be it'll help her?
- Dr. Richard Cross: I'm neither a miracle man nor a prophet, Lieutenant. If medicine were an exact science, not an art, I might be able to tell you.
- Elaine Jordan: You've got a headache. I can tell from your eyes.
- Dr. Richard Cross: Yes, it's bursting.
- Lt. Paul Stewart: Doctor, the important thing is - what can you do for her?
- Dr. Richard Cross: It's hard for a doctor to make promises. We can only do our best.
- Elaine Jordan: She's the only one who knows, Richard. No matter what O'Neill says or anyone else, if she's out of the way we've nothing to worry about. They can hint and guess all they want, but without her, they have nothing.
- Dr. Richard Cross: [addressing Lt. Stewart] The mind is a delicate, fragile thing. It's almost as intangible as.. as faith.
- Elaine Jordan: Darling, you're not thinking clearly.
- Dr. Richard Cross: I've never seen things so clearly before in my whole life!
- Elaine Jordan: No one knows. We're safe!
- Dr. Richard Cross: You're forgetting Janet Stewart, aren't you? *She* knows. What if she talks?
- Elaine Jordan: I haven't forgotten her. She can't tell what's she's seen as long as she's in this condition, can she?
- Dr. Richard Cross: The shock will wear off in a couple of weeks at the most.
- Elaine Jordan: It'll wear off if you *let* it, Dick.
